How to Install a Hose to a Pipe Water Hose

Connecting and disconnecting water hoses to faucets can be a hassle when you need to irrigate a garden or lawn, or perhaps wash the car, but don't want to be bothered with unscrewing the hose and dragging it across the ground to a new location. Installing a hose to another pipe water hose extends the reach of your watering capabilities. Adding a quick-connector coupler, available at hardware and lawn and garden stores, lets you install one hose to another in a matter of seconds.

  Stop the flow of water by turning the faucet knob completely clockwise until tight.

  Insert the male end of the second hose into the female half of the quick-connector set. Screw together until tight.

  Pull back the slide on the male quick-connector on one hose and push into the female quick-connector on the second hose. Release the slide to lock the two hoses together. Some quick-connector sets also require a half-twist to lock the two halves together.
